Metafisica. From 1933 he lived in Paris, painting abstracts and became
a member of Abstraction-Creation. After the war he became prominent in
the production of structured abstract painting with outlined
geometrical forms, when Art informel was prevalent. Major exhibitions:

abstract painting and mastering his style and skills. In 1955 and 1959,
Magnelli took part in the documenta in Kassel. The painter died on
April 20, 1971, in Meudon. |
